It's recommended to avoid drinking coffee, alcohol or smoke cigarettes. Nowadays, most OBGYN offices will suggest that the expecting mom avoid wearing any perfume or scented oils.
Most pregnant ladies want to keep straight and do the right thing. Yet, how much is too much? It's impossible to avoid everything that may potentially harm your baby. Even so called "Herbal Tea" may contain caffine. Shampoo and Conditioners are scented. Even as you walk out of a restaurant, you often inhale second hand smoke.
I agree, we all need to do our best during pregnancy. But there are times when a unwanted spash of the unforbidden will transport your way. Technically speaking, all you can do is your personal best and that in it of itself is powerful!
